Case Study: Reckitt improves scheduling efficiency and OEE with Kinaxis Enterprise Scheduling

How Reckitt unlocked the power of Enterprise Scheduling with Kinaxis

Reckitt, the global consumer goods company, was struggling with highly volatile demand, material shortages, and siloed planning and scheduling processes that made production plans inefficient and costly. The company needed better end-to-end visibility and a single system to connect demand signals to production sequencing, and it turned to Kinaxis and its Maestro platform to help solve the challenge.

Kinaxis implemented Enterprise Scheduling on the same platform as Reckitt’s demand and supply planning, giving the company a single source of truth, shared logic, and scenario-planning capabilities. As a result, Reckitt successfully rolled out the solution across eight production facilities, reduced changeover time, improved overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), and optimized inventory by aligning it more closely with demand.
